Data on 704 United States short-term general hospitals are sorted into a set of dependent variables indicative of organizational formalism and a number of independent variables separately measuring hospital size (number of beds) and various types of complexity commonly associated with size. A series of regressions are performed on the data to determine whether size alone has significant influence on formal organization. The findings are discussed in terms of the probable relation between hospital complexity and professionalization and the possible relation between professionalization and formal bureaucratic mechanisms in organization control.
关于704家美国短期综合医院的数据被整理成一组表示组织形式主义的因变量，以及一些分别衡量医院规模（病床数量）和通常与规模相关的各种复杂性类型的自变量。对这些数据进行了一系列回归分析，以确定仅规模是否对正式组织有显著影响。研究结果从医院复杂性与专业化之间的可能关系以及专业化与组织控制中的正式官僚机制之间的可能关系的角度进行了讨论。
